What is a domain name?
A domain name is the essence of your company's online
identity. It is the address your customers use to find information
about your products and services on the web. Domain names allow
Internet users to type in a name, such as KingRegister.com,
to identify a numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address such as
207.15.12.173. The purpose of domain names is to allow users
connected to the Internet the ability to find web sites without
having to memorize the long, numerical (IP) addresses that actually
locate the computers or servers on the Internet.

What does it mean to "register" a
domain name?
There is a central registry of all
domain names on the Internet. For your domain name to become a part
of the registry, your domain name needs to be added to that
registry. "Registering" a domain name means you are associated with
that domain name for the period of the registration. Only ICANN-approved
Registrars (such as KingRegister) have access to the
database. "Registering" a name means you own it, and no one else can
register that exact same name!

Who should register a domain name?
Anyone thinking about establishing a presence on the
Internet should register a domain name. You don't have to utilize it
right away, but you can reserve it for your future use. Domains are
being registered at the rate of more than 900,000 per month- they go
quickly!

How long does the registration
process take?
KingRegister’s application process should take
less than two minutes to complete. As an ICANN-approved registrar,
all registrations take place in real time- once your application has
been processed and approved, your name is registered.

Is it possible for someone to
register my domain name after I have registered it?
No. The availability of .com, .net and .org domain
names is verified through a central registry system. This system
prevents a domain name that is successfully registered from being
registered by another person or entity. The KingRegister
registration and processing system updates the central registry in
real time.

KingRegister accept?

American Express or Discover. If you don't have a credit card, you
can prepay for your domains via cashiers check or money order.

I've got my domain name, now
what?
There are many uses for your
new domain name. Some people want to have a personal
or
business website; others want to establish an email
address; and still others want to hold onto their domain for future
use or sale.
If you would like to have a Website, simply contact your Web hosting
company or Internet Service Provider (ISP). They will build your
Website and supply you with their
Domain Name Server Information (DNS info). Then, visit
www.kingregister.com and enter the DNS information in the
"Manage" section. Within 24-48 hours after you enter the DNS info.,
your new Website will be accessible to anyone in the world. It's
that simple!
If you would like to establish an email account, your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) will give you their DNS info. Simply go to
www.KingRegister.com and enter the DNS info in the "Manage"
section of the web site. Your ISP can then route email sent to your
new domain to either a new or existing mail box on their servers.
If you would like to resell your domain name, you may transfer the
domain to a new buyer by using the "Ownership Change" form in the
"Manage" section of the Website.

I own a new domain, but when
I type it into my browser, nothing comes up.
A domain name is not a website. It's simply an address someone uses
to find a website. If you would like to have a website, you can
contact a web design or hosting company. After they build you a
Website, you can enter their
Domain Name Server Info (DNS Info) by clicking on the
KingRegister "Manage" link. Within 24-48 hours after you enter the
DNS info, your new Website will be accessible to anyone in the world
to see, including you!
